"Wow, was the firs thing i say when i listent to bernd's first album (pshycho acoustic overture, recorded in 1991) some years ago in 1998...since then i didn't know anithing of this great guitarist...but now, in 2001 this great guitar master made another album...and the incredible thing is that it is BETTER than the first one....and that is almost unbeliable. The album joins the two basic points of intrumental music..im going to speak about two with details
TECHNISISM: One of the best players in the entire world...and i think he is the best in his style with the acoustics...this cds has imposible to play speed licks...blazing sweeped arpeggios...
incredible speed picking...and an unbeliable clean sound. (listen to any of the two paganini songs and you'll se)and now the most important thing in music, because the insane guitar is not the only fact fo an album to be good...and that factor is the
MUSIC: (i call music to all the songs together, composition, arrengements, etc) the music is GREAT."

Transcendental classical/new age guitar overtures.

"Ten years after "Psycho Acoustic Overture", Bernd decides to grace the world with his divinity again. He approached this album from a different angle by first showing respect for the greats of the past, and then slowly evolve the album into his showcase of studio magic, perhaps letting his guitar sit on the back burner for a bit. I hoped for a return of the original drummer, and maybe a vocalist, too. But no. None the less, Bernd puts modern electronics to good use, creating a mesmerizing continuum of hypnotic and ethereal....I need a word that transcends "music". Oh well, with a loss for words, I'll close with this: Bernd has done it again. What did he do? I'm not sure, but I am happy to have accidentally discovered his first album. I just wish I could motivate him to do it again every four years or so. Ten years is too long to wait for new blood. Bravo, Bernd!!"
